Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 356 Revenge (continued)

When Li Dewu returned to the small courtyard and sat down, he was surprised to find that the two maids stood silently by the side, and did not step forward to rub his sore knees.

After coughing twice, Li Dewu felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, and asked tentatively, "Where's Madam?"

No one answered him.

After a while, there was noise from outside, Li Dewu stared blankly at his wife walking slowly, his usually gentle face was as cold as ice.

"Lang Jun was punished by his father to kneel again?" Pei Shuying waved her hand to dismiss the maid, and said with a light smile: "Lang Jun served as the Chang'an county captain for two years, and there was no omission. He usually lives in the mansion and never acts recklessly. Father kneels as punishment?"

"This... this..." Li Dewu tried to remain calm, but his voice was trembling.

Pei Shuying approached slowly, "What is Mr. Lang afraid of?"

Li Dewu reluctantly got up with his hands on the table, trying to find an excuse to fool him. Although there were rumors that he and Li Shan were involved together, the real inside story was not revealed to the world.

Just as he was about to speak, his eyes collided in the air. Li Dewu keenly noticed the anger and disappointment in his wife's eyes, and couldn't open his mouth for a while.

After a long silence, Pei Shuying turned and looked outside the door, muttering: "No wonder, no wonder..."

Li Dewu vaguely guessed what his wife was thinking of. A few months ago, his wife went to Dongshan Temple to visit Princess Nanyang, and met Li Shan... After she came back, she mentioned that this young man looked very familiar.

Although the evidence was conclusive, Pei Shuying still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. Disappointment, anger, contempt, resentment, all kinds of emotions were mixed in her heart. She suddenly thought, who is worse, herself or Princess Nanyang?

No wonder Princess Nanyang looked weird that day, she must know the inside story, no wonder that Mrs. Zhu was so rude...

Pei Shuying was not Pei Shiju. The first thing she thought of after confirming the matter was that her son, who was only over one year old, was not the eldest son.

Li Jincai was married only half a month back then, and Li Jincai's entire family died. Her husband was lucky enough to save his life and be exiled in Lingnan, where he stayed alone for more than ten years.

For more than ten years, Pei Shuying also thought about it a lot. She could understand that Li Dewu married another man.
But when Li Dewu rushed to Beijing and reunited, he told himself that although he married another, he had no heirs.

After the anger of being deceived subsided a little, Pei Shuying's heart was filled with disappointment and contempt.

Why does the husband hide the fact that he has children?

Of course, it was to climb up the thick legs of the Pei family in Hedong... For the sake of power and wealth, what is it to abandon a wife and son?
This is the husband I have been waiting for for more than ten years.

The light rain fell from the sky, and the rain hit the tiles above the head. After collecting, it fell from the eaves, and the drops fell. Pei Shuying unconsciously stared at the yard covered by rain, with a wry smile on her face.

I actually want my son to worship him as a teacher... No wonder the young man looked weird that day, and my husband panicked when he found out.

By the way, my father also lost his composure when he heard the shocking news that day... This shows that his father is an insider.

Thinking of this, Pei Shuying took a deep breath, turned around and asked, "Why did father recommend Li Shan as acting magistrate?"

After a pause, Pei Shuying said sarcastically: "Nowadays, the court praises my father's knowledge of people, and his ability to choose talents is not as weak as before."

"Could it be that Li Shan's achievements in Yanmen are good for my father, for you, and for me?"

This is what Pei Shuying finds difficult to understand. After her husband abandons his wife and son, would he still plan to become an official for Li Shan, and even ask Pei Shiju?
This is impossible!

Li Dewu had mixed feelings in his heart, and after a while, he finally opened his mouth, "Although my father-in-law has lived in Luodu and Jiangdu for many years, in terms of knowledge of Turks, there are few people in the world who can compare."

"Although Mayi is victorious now, the Turks will surely make a comeback. In the future, Yanmen will be broken, and Dai County will be plundered by the Turks..."

The words are clear enough, once the Yanmen is breached, Li Shan will probably die in Dai County, even if he escapes by chance, Pei, who is a double-faced, has enough ability to make Li Shan's light disappear.

It is equivalent to saying that Pei Shiju recommended Li Shan this time to drive him to death.

Pei Shuying's expression was cold, she lowered her head and thought for a while. At first she thought that her husband was planning for Li Shan outside, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that it was impossible, because her father was involved in it.

It makes sense to drive him to death... But Pei Shuying suddenly sneered: "Back then you abandoned your wife and son to protect Pei's family, so there was no need to kill your wife and son."

"It's just that you didn't expect Li Shan to become famous, becoming famous in Guanzhong and Shandong. You are narrow-minded, so it's hard to bear it."

"It's not uncommon to be put to death."

"You have no heart." Pei Shuying's voice overwhelmed the pattering rain, "but father is by no means an infinite man!"

Li Dewu looked at his wife with surprised eyes. He was usually gentle and never asked about foreign affairs, but he didn't expect to see things brightly today.

"How can you convince your father?"

A long sigh sounded outside the door, Pei Shiju, who was holding an oil umbrella, but his body was wet, looked helplessly at his daughter who cast cold eyes.

Pei Shuying didn't salute, and said blankly, "Father doesn't want to explain?"

"Explain what?" Pei Shiju put away the oil umbrella, and said with a wry smile, "This man abandoned his wife. The father knew about it, but he didn't know that he had abandoned his son. If he heard about it earlier, he would not be allowed to enter Pei's family."

"The question is not about this." Pei Shuying sneered, "Although my daughter hates him deeply, and hopes that Li Shan will never return to Chang'an, there is one thing that my daughter doesn't know very well, so I ask my father to give me some advice."

Before Pei Shiju could speak, Pei Shuying raised her voice and said, "This son Li Shan has become famous in recent years. He is quite cunning, and he has saved Princess Pingyang's life. Even if my father knows the inside story, there is no need to act like this."

"Why exactly?"

Pei Shiju glanced at Li Dewu who was kneeling on the ground consciously, "Then ask him what he did!"

"There are now two chancellors from Pei's family in the east of the river, but there are no outstanding people in the generation of nephews. Li Huairen's ability is rare as a father in this life. After all, there is no need to worry about doves occupying the magpie's nest. They can be used as foreign aid. .”

"The story of Huo Guang in the former Han Dynasty may be reproduced. Don't you have such courage as a father?"

Pei Shiju sighed, "Nowadays, it is rumored that Weng and son-in-law have the ability to select talents, son-in-law recommends their talents, and Weng recommends their talents."

"When he joined the army last year, he was the one who made Li Shan escort the food and grass to the north to Shandong, and fell into desperate situations several times. Unexpectedly, the young man not only narrowly escaped death, but also took advantage of the situation to jump up..."

Li Dewu, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little complicated. On the one hand, he hoped that the Turks would break through Yanmen, so that Li Shan would never return to Chang'an.

At that time, I will be able to curse... I am a waste material, and you, Pei Shiju, are no better!
